First network of “Motus” monitoring stations to be installed in Mexico
Despite the fact that Northwest Mexico is used by more than a million migratory birds during the winter, there is a lack of information about their migratory patterns, dates of arrival and departure, survival, and habitat use. To generate this information in a continuous and economical way, Pronatura Noroeste and its partners will begin in 2020 to install the first network of “Motus” monitoring stations in Mexico. This network will use a set of antennas to record the migratory passage of birds tagged with a small transmitter. The signal from these transmitters will be automatically and continuously detected by the antennas which, installed in strategic points, will cover thousands of kilometers.

Our region is located in the Pacific Migratory Route, which means we live in an area that provides refuge and rest to many birds in transit to their nesting or overwintering sites. But we not only live with these birds, we also live with innumerable birds that reside in the cities where we live and about which we still know little.
